UN Ghana welcomes Kofi Annan’s inclusion on new Heritage Series Banknotes

The United Nations in Ghana has welcomed the inclusion of former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in the country's newly launched Heritage Series banknotes. The banknotes, introduced by the Bank of Ghana on November 12, 2026, feature Annan to honor his significant contributions to Ghana and the international community. Zia Choudhury, the UN Resident Coordinator in Ghana, described the recognition as a fitting tribute to a distinguished Ghanaian whose influence extended beyond the nation's borders.

Annan served as the UN's seventh Secretary-General from 1997 to 2006, championing peace, human rights, sustainable development, and international cooperation. His leadership and vision are expected to inspire future generations to uphold values such as integrity, service, dialogue, and global solidarity. The UN Ghana reaffirmed its commitment to advancing these values and working towards a more peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable world in partnership with Ghana.
